"It is reported that Whot! has become the national card game of Nigeria, and that cards are also made locally for the game."

Hi,
I think of myself as the best player that ever played the game. For those who are thinking of developing the game on line, I would like to know if I can make any financial contribution or investment to facilitate it.
I haven't played this game in 16 years and still believe I am on top of my game. I can still humble any of you young people.
God bless Nanjaland.
